One thing has led to anot....nope...one thing led to a train wreck. Wanted to upgrade the CPU in my desktop. Got an AMD Ryzen 9 3950x. AMD suggested a minimum 240mm liquid cooling set up. A 240mm radiator was not going to fit in my old case so I bought this monster of a case....
The Tower 900

Goes without saying that very few, make that none of the power cables from my power supply reach so I have decided to just make them myself. I need a pair of crimpers that work on Molex terminals. Any suggestions?
 
I would just crimpish them with pliers/ whatever crimpers you have and then SOLDER them
 
I can't see what you're working with, but a generic "open barrell" style crimper should work. Just pay attention to make sure the wire gauge you're using matches the range that the pins will accept, and then use the correct position on the crimper for that range. This might help: How to Crimp Open Barrel Terminals | www.iwiss.com
 
I used these at first a bit user unfriendly till you get used to them. Under $30

Why not just cut in half what you have, and put in the middle what you need. Solder and heat shrink. Done and easy...
